Infinity
The Mountain from Terje Sorgjerd on Vimeo.
When I was about 15 years old I contemplated the vast night sky and felt very, very small. It was the first time I placed myself in the context of The Universe. I was a little frightened and unnerved to feel utterly insignificant.
Now, many years later, I have a completely different perspective. I feel perfectly inter-connected. Scientifically it's been proven that we are composed of the same molecules as the stars! It feels infinitely comforting to know that I am a part of something so beautiful, magical and majestic.
I feel extremely grateful today to be a part of everything that exists, to be able to recognize the nature of reality. It's fleeting and ever-changing, exquisitely complex, and dazzling.

Beautiful post, Loran, and I feel exactly the same way and so connected with everything and it's a wonderful feeling! Wishing you and your family a very Happy Easter and a delightful weekend!

Great post. I read in Scientific American today something about the atoms in our fingernails are billions of years old and at one time where the stuff of stars. I really liked that, and I like your post also.
